Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


I reached the lodge at Gateshead about five o'clock in the afternoon
of the first of May: I stepped in there before going up to the
hall. It was very clean and neat: the ornamental windows were
hung with little white curtains; the floor was spotless; the grate
and fire-irons were burnished bright, and the fire burnt clear.
Bessie sat on the hearth, nursing her last-born, and Robert and
his sister played quietly in a corner.


"Bless you! -- I knew you would come!" exclaimed Mrs. Leaven, as
I entered.
